Clearing out possible here

Good to know

Not an open port: officials handle clear-in and especially clear-out, but Naikosen status is not issued there, so entry is not recommended. The Coast Guard assigns a spot on the concrete pier.

Offices to visit

In the usual order of the formalities. Addresses can change: ask the harbour office when you arrive.
